Academic Edge For the most in-depth experience of grade-level material, we recommend registering in all three weeks of Academic Edge programming.

Elementary In an engaging classroom environment inspired by real-life scenarios and student interests, Elementary Academic Edge day programs focus on the fundamentals of literacy and numeracy. Themes will be drawn from grade-level language arts, math, social studies and science curricula. For a portion of each afternoon, students will choose a daily enrichment option, such as nature walks, science experiments, art, sports, baking or acting.

Academic Edge programs (formerly Summer Cool School) are designed to enrich student learning and fight summer learning loss! Led by certificated teachers, classes are based on the Alberta Program of Studies with an emphasis on building knowledge and skills in literacy and numeracy. Students may review their last completed grade or prepare for the upcoming school year. They may enrol in one, two or three weeks of classes.

Junior High Junior High Academic Edge programs focus on literacy and numeracy, and skill building to prepare for future learning. Morning Language Arts and Mathematics classes provide student-centred classroom environments that prioritize engagement and individuality. Students may also register in afternoon enrichment programming called Active Afternoon. During these sessions, students will cook different recipes, create multimedia art pieces, program robots, discover improvisational theatre, and develop leadership skills by working with the elementary Academic Edge students.
